Abstract
People perceive the sky based on their knowledge, culture, and community. However, discourse in schools is insufficient due to the different orientation of knowledge and resources in the basic education system of the Philippines. This study aims to document the state of ethnoastronomy teaching in secondary education and the acceptance of teachers towards initiating a Filipino-oriented education. This was accomplished through surveys conducted among science teachers, interviews and consultations with experts in astronomy, ethnoastronomy, and science education, and an analysis of local and international studies and literature on the philosophy of education and Filipino ethnoastronomy. The study revealed a divergence from the educational philosophy in science teaching, an emphasis on astronomy, and responses to critiques of neocolonial tendencies. It also highlighted the scarcity of references on ethnoastronomy and the limited knowledge of teachers in this area. The research produced can serve as a reference for teaching, aimed at further developing Filipino-oriented astronomy.
Abstrak
Nasisipat ng tao ang kalangitan batay sa kaniyang kaalaman, kultura, at kinabibilangan. Subalit, di-sapat ang diskurso sa paaralan dahil sa ibang oryentasyon ng kaalaman at kagamitan sa batayang edukasyon ng Pilipinas. Kaugnay rito ang pagdodokumento sa kalagayan ng pagtuturo ng etnoastronomiya sa sekondarya, at pagtanggap ng mga guro dito tungo sa pagpapasimula ng maka-Filipinong edukasyon. Isinakatuparan ito sa pagsasarbey sa mga guro ng agham; pagsasagawa ng panayam at konsultasyon sa mga eksperto sa larang ng astronomiya, etnoastronomiya, at edukasyong pang-agham; at pagsusuri ng mga lokal at banyagang pag-aaral at literatura hinggil sa pilosopiya ng edukasyon at etnoastronomiyang Filipino. Nasipat ang pagtaliwas sa pilosopiya ng edukasyon sa pagtuturo ng agham, pagtitiyak sa astronomiya, at pagtugon sa punang malakolonyal. Gayundin ang kakapusan sa reperensiya ng etnoastronomiya at kaalaman ng mga guro hinggil dito. Mula rito, ang nalikhang saliksik ay magagamit bilang reperensiya sa pagtuturo para sa lalong pagpapaunlad ng maka-Filipinong astronomiya.
